 at least one live hinge bar having a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein the top portion and the bottom portion meet at a first hinge, and wherein the top portion is connected to the inside surface of the body by a second hinge; and 
 a threaded connector attached to the bottom portion of the at least one live hinge by a third hinge, and surrounding the threaded stem. 
 
     
     
       2. The beverage can device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one live hinge bar comprises a first live hinge bar and a second live hinge bar, wherein the bottom portion of the first live hinge is connected to the threaded connector on an opposite side as the bottom portion of the second live hinge. 
     
     
       3. The beverage can device of  claim 1 , wherein the main body is a circular shape.
